Thankyou so much

Thankyou! 😊

Swiss darning is a technique if you want the repair to match the structure of the knit, it’s a little fiddly but there’s some great you tube tutorials, and you just need yarn, scissors, a large blunt sewing needle and something to stretch the sweater over - sometimes cans are good. Good luck 😊

Thankyou! I wore them to choir tonight and I’m very happy with it 😊

Great colours - also I was curious where the name came from, good to know!

It’s patched, interfaced on the inside and then there’s a lining patch over the top - I took the photo before I ironed it, it looks very flat now 😂

Oh I feel you! It’s such a struggle - although I do enjoy getting up early sitting with a cup of tea and saying “I’d better darn them trousers before the light goes” like I’m a character in a play 😂

I did feel very smug that I’d timed the colour change so well lol

Thankyou! And thankyou for writing the pattern! I have a lot of odd skeins I’ve spun to use up, so I really appreciate the gaugeless design, and all the variations 😊

That’s the one! Thankyou these are great tips

She really was

This is my strategy now, as soon as the ends are woven in on the first, cast on the second

It’s where you knit a sock and then find it really hard to start (or indeed never make) the second sock
